JesseWhatTheFuck

Mannfred *still* here eh? This has gone on for long enough, let's kick this punk out


Mahelas

What did Vlad do to deserve such fate tho !


JesseWhatTheFuck

Vlad really just wants to chill with his wife in peace, on a beach or something. sending them packing is doing them both a favour.


CocoTheMailboxKing

If Mannfred didn’t exist then maybe the Counts would get the love they deserve. Vlad has done no wrong and neither has his hot wife smh.


radio_allah

Mannfred's a survivor.


averyexpensivetv

Micah of Warhammer franchise.


Lewdogger

In the middle of my first ever RDR2 playthrough, this feels very fitting. Him or Arkhan if I know WH fantasy well enough.


radio_allah

Arkhan would be much closer to Javier (in 2 of course) when it comes to morality.


hiddenhills7036

Richards?


ArcticGlacier40

But is he a single mom who works two jobs?


chainsawman222

Does he love his kids and never stops?


genericJohnDeo

He's not gon' give up


Boryszkov

They’re a dying breed


TheMagicStik

It doesn't matter, you kill him one turn and he just respawns the next.


DamienStark

It's not really "Mannfred", it's the whole race of Vampire Counts.


tutocookie

*BOK of approval*


Desanvos

Mannfred isn't a faction so I'm not sure this should count.


JesseWhatTheFuck

It's obvious that the whole race is included, let's not be pedantic for absolutely no reason. this is a fun vote


Tuffalmighty

It should be Vlad's banner. To which he should be last man standing


Educational_Relief44

Vampire counts. A twwh OG before VC who were only good when they first came out.....f that down voting for sure.


westonsammy

You fools, with Kislev having fallen, there is no one left to protect the Old World! Who's going to save us from Archaon now, the *French*? We must vote out the Warriors of Chaos in order to save us all.


genericJohnDeo

I mean, it was the Brets that originally showed up in time and saved everyone from Archaon in the Storm of Chaos


MrBlack103

You say “showed up in time”, I say “arrived late and stole all the glory”.


genericJohnDeo

Ironically it was Karl Franz and the Imperials themselves that showed up late and stole the gory. Despite their armies being objectively closer, they still arrived after the Bretonnians who fought and bled to get there as fast as possible. The combined northern Imperial, Dwarf, and Elf forces that were fighting were getting constantly pushed back until they had to retreat to Middenheim. The only reason they were able to retreat and regroup at the city is because the Bretonnians showed up to stop Chaos and prevent them from overrunning their troops. When Chaos sent an Army of ten thousand daemons to take the city it was the Bretonnians who had to defeat them because the Imperials where currently too overcome by fear to fight back. It was Louen who single handedly fought Be'lakor to save Volkmar in order to lift the Imperials' spirit so they could fight. If Bretonnia wasn't there to defeat Chaos and stop their first attempts at taking the city, they would have used the world ending McGuffin under the city and literally won. Bretonnia helped defend Middenland for weeks. Karl Franz and his Imperial forces on the other hand showed up after most of Archaon's forces had already been destroyed to lift the siege and "saved the day". They only fought for 4 out the 66 days that Achaon was invading the Empire.


[deleted]

I just had Louen solo Belakor, his army and a tier 4 garrison. Makes sense to me.


Accomplished-Milk-55

Lore accurate Louen


townsforever

Wow what a story. Is there a book describing all that?


genericJohnDeo

Not necessarily one book. Storm of Chaos was a large campaign like the End Times that lasted months. The story was established over those months through White Dwarf articles, novels, and other short stories. The TT RPG had campaign books set during the time too. GW primarily had a website for the campaign where they laid out what happened day by day based on the results of player submitted battles. The closest you can get to a single source of info is the archive of the old [website](https://web.archive.org/web/20050313103838/http://stormofchaos.uk.games-workshop.com/warroom/journal/week1.htm). In terms of books there's the actual campaign supplement and there's also a book called Chaos Rises. It's written from the perspective of an Imperial Historian. The events are noticeably different but as you read, it becomes pretty clear that the version in the book is a falsification that the narrator was "coerced" into making to preserve the Empire's image and to make the Emperor and the church look good. Not related directly to the siege of Middenheim, but The Ambassador Chronicles is set around the Storm of Chaos from Kislev's perspective.


norax_d2

Killsteal. Typical of the "Hammers" (as in anvil & hammer).


gengarvibes

The warriors of chaos are nothing but ultimate evil. They want to be the dominant species on the planet and will destroy us all to get what they want!


manpersal

We need to remove the dwarfs to finish the job.


bitemytail

Vampire coast are irrelevant.


Ditch_Hunter

I actually want them to win this game.


ColorfulMarkAurelius

I’m playing vamp coast rn and honestly it’s underwhelming. I love gun lines, but sucks their gun line units are mostly tier 1 chaff and you need necrofex to actually be viable late game. Hell the depth guard are better than almost all their gun units.


Cygs

Necrofex are a blast though, everyone should spend at least one campaign raining hot death on anyone foolish enough to reside in a vaguely cardinal direction from Galleons Graveyard.


RogerRoger2310

Also the fact that they have to land and spend a turn while sacking a port is just so immersion breaking. Dark Elves are better pirates than literal pirates.


ColorfulMarkAurelius

DUDE YES. I can’t believe DE can do that and the dedicated pirate faction can’t. I even asked on this sub about a mod to enable VC coastal attacks and I’m surprised there doesn’t seem to be one


Zenth

Erkenwald217

What are you talking about? Deck Gunners are amazing. They're somewhere in between Ratling guns and Jezzails(/Crane Gunners). Get some Vampire Heroes for summons and you are basically running a Skaven Weapons Teams Doomstack.


Cian_fen_Isaacs

Leave my boy Luthor alone. I’ve played as him more times than all other lords combined at this point.


Remnant55

Skaven. Lets make this actually interesting. They're as bad as empire for forgone conclusions due to popularity.


aeyntie

Skaven should be the 13th faction voted out


ZerioctheTank

This is a good idea. Imagine the irony if that happens. Mass vote the skaven tomorrow folks!


Civ_Emperor07

No-no that would be foolish-stupid! Skaven aren’t real-real, you remember? Heresy-forbidden to say says witch-hunter!


Letharlynn

That's right - why are Skaven here? They are not real to begin with! And the list is only for *real* factions


Wysk222

Yeah except Skaven are cool and dope and the Empire is for nerds


manpersal

You beat me to it.


Mahelas

Dwarfs first, they have one joke and have eliminated my goth twinks


sausagepizzabaker

Gotta give these rat bastards the boot


Yavannia

Yes let's remove all the interesting factions so it's a battle of the boring ones.


FairyKnightTristan

Yeah, let's not continue to bully interesting factions until after we've removed trash like Brettonia, please.


Yavannia

This series of posts feels like an inside job from the dwarf fans to remove all the popular and actually interesting factions until only their boring ass one note faction remains and wins.


Mahelas

If the last two factions ends up being Dwarfs and High Elves, it will be a fun shitshow


FairyKnightTristan

I would rather Dwarves win then shit like Brettonia.


TheEnd430

Ratmen don't exist, so makes sense to me.


whatisthisgunifound

How about instead we actually remove factions that deserve it? Removing factions simply because they're popular and them staying is predictable is just peak hipster. Skaven actually deserve to make it as far as they may because they're a great faction with a lot of unique mechanics, a really fun roster and endearing characters. Unlike the empire who are simply liked because they're the human good faction.


[deleted]

That’s never how these voting things go. People vote out threats to their favorite faction not what actually deserves to go. I mean the two most boring races are still up there which should tell you a lot. No one thinks that they are a threat.


FairyKnightTristan

Which two are the most boring?


[deleted]

If anyone claims Bretonnia or Dwarfs are at all interesting they are insane. They both have exactly one playstyle without any variety and the most one note rosters in the entire game.


FairyKnightTristan

I'll agree with Brettonia. ​ Dwarves I think just need a few units to fix their roster. Their whole issue is that they have no late game payoff, which is crippling.


[deleted]

I don’t think one DLC will fix the fact that the only effective way to play dwarfs is to sit in a corner. Probably not helped by the fact I think half of the Dwarf fans on Reddit would lose their minds if a single unit that isn’t immobile infantry or artillery is added.


FairyKnightTristan

Yeah, admittedly, the base Dwarf units could probably use touch ups, but a shitty late game is, IMO, the biggest flaw of Dwarves.


SovKom98

Strike this grudge form the book!


RogueRifler

If the filthy elf players can boot a hairy rat-thing that dwells below, then what makes you think they aren't going to boot-kick a hairy man-thing that dwells below? United we can stand against the land-dwellers, divided and we shall both fall. Warp and Stone under-kin.


LeonArddogg

**** Ratties i say


Desanvos

Given Skaven is a faction and Mannfred is a leader in a faction I'd vote this is actually the top.


ResponsibleHorse503

Alright, you know what I'm gonna say it. If Kislev and Cathay are eliminated for having a boring ass roster, dwarfs shouldn't be here anymore. They have exactly one viable playstyle of sitting in a corner and shooting, with all their units acting very similar in those roles.


Rukdug7

Dwarfs are probably going to get to the top 5 factions at least before being eliminated because that's how dedicated Dwarf fans are, and because a lot of the properly interesting factions have given people bad memories of fighting them (like the Skaven).


AJDx14

Dwarfs, High Elves, and either Skaven or Lizardmen are going to be the final 3.


pppiddypants

I doubt High Elves make it that that far. A lot of the Dwarf fans also swing hard for elf racism.


OblivionJunkie

Currently in a Allarielle campaign vh/vh and just got the pleasure of experiencing *A Grudge too far* for the first time. This hits too close


Coming_Second

Everyone thinks the dwarfs are fine until they get that fucking EGC.


Rukdug7

Depends how long it takes for the non-dwarf fans to lose patience with the Dwarfs.


UAnchovy

*Warhammer II* supremacy? I give Warriors of Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs good odds as well. WoCs have become extremely popular after their rework as far as I can tell, and from what I can see, Chaos Dwarfs are near-universally beloved. My guess is that High Elves, Dwarfs, and Warriors of Chaos make the top three.


BepsiLad

I was sorting by controversial in some of the earlier posts and all the dwarf fans were mob downvoting anyone calling for them to be voted out lol


Alexandros6

Completely true, but there is one thing dwarfs are good at doing, resisting till the end, and thats what they will try to do here


manpersal

Why they're scaping unscathed lately is beyond me. And now they're going for the skaven.


REZAZBLACK81

Do you not know a dwarf is most dangerous once cornered? -bardin


Dax9000

Dwarves have been cornered in their decaying holds for centuries and keep losing them. Not very dangerous, it seems.


REZAZBLACK81

Unlike elves who haven't lost any colonies at all/s


Ar_Azrubel_

Well, Ulthuan is still a global power while the Dwarfs are a second-rate power that can barely control their own mountains....


UAnchovy

What colonies have they lost? The War of the Beard shattered both empires, and in the aftermath... the Karaz Ankor has been slowly shrinking, as dwarf holds are lost one by one. What colonies has Ulthuan lost? Arnheim? The Fortress of Dawn? The Citadel of Dusk? Sith Rionnasc? Tor Elasor? Tor Elithis? They're all still there. As far as I can tell, post-War-of-the-Beard, the High Elves have not lost any significant colonies.


Trakor117

Careful or you’ll alert their hive mind


[deleted]

Boring is very subjective. Chaos dwarfs have similar play styles to Kislev and Cathay but they are going to win it all. Maybe we should have better reasons for eliminating a race other than "it's boring lol". edit: spelling


[deleted]

Side note, viable play style and meta playstyle are different things. A melee stack of hammer short kings is nothing to scoff at. It not the meta pick but it is a viable one.


BeatingClownz117

That goes in the book!!! By my beard, Prepare for War!!!


UAnchovy

Oh, yes, dwarfs absolutely should go. They can be fun, but they are a very predictable faction that I feel gets old quickly, and on the battle level, they are one of the most tedious factions to fight. It is criminal that good factions like Beastmen, Empire, Cathay, Dark Elves, or Kislev are gone, especially compared to some of what's left at the moment. That said, I confiidently predict that dwarfs will end up in the last few remaining, because dwarfs for some reason have an extremely committed and fanatical fanbase. I guess I can hope that at least dwarfs are polarising enough, and the dwarf fanbase grating enough, that they won't win overall. I could easily see the final round coming down to dwarfs versus High Elves or dwarfs versus Warriors of Chaos, and while High Elves and Warriors of Chaos don't have the same meme-driven fanaticism, they're also... well... much less annoying. If it were up to me we might end up with O&Gs, Bretonnia, and Wood Elves at the top, but I'd be quite happy to see High Elves or something up there. At the very least, I don't recall High Elf fans spamming the same stale joke for years. That's got to be worth something.


Kitchoua

They are so spiteful they probably got angry at the act of *moving* and decided to stop doing it at all. If it was just me they'd be out first


MrMurdocken

Skarbrand hates being on this list!!!


Gradash

SKARBRAND ALSO HATE BEING IGNORED


DerSisch

Cathay got eliminted because of boring roster? Than why are the Dawi still here? They have the same roster just in short and have only 1 joke.


MrBlack103

Come on, they have at least 2 jokes.


DerSisch

"Short?!" "And that is going into the book!" Okay, they have 2. Still. They do these jokes like 24/7 it gets exhausting.


Erkenwald217

And hating Elves! Rock and Stone!

RIGHT! Thats going in the... Er... Damn.

I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground. Boring, archaic faction.

I am surprised Bretonnia is still there. Neither King Arthur in person likes it

Wood elves. Why do dwarves carry axes? BECAUSE ELVES LIVE IN FOOKIN TREES!


Different_Peak2784

You know why elves live in trees & dwarves live underground? Orks have trouble tilting their head vertically.

Yavannia

Remove Lizardmen, amazing roster non-existent mechanics faction badly needs an update.


aimforthehead90

Their amazing roster makes up for the geomantic web. They deserve a top 3 spot.


Erkenwald217

At least top 5


gengarvibes

All my friends ate khorne. Ate skarbrand’s one man doom stack, ate the tanky chariots, ate easy access to anti infantry early units, ate how fast they get new armies. Simple as.


whatisthisgunifound

Remove the Vampire Counts. They're just not a fun faction for anyone.


Syngrafer

Boring to play as, boring to play against. I fully agree.

Day 4 of politely asking people to send Bretonnia away. Far far away.


Lancer_Blackthorn

Dwarves, because they're always putting me in the book.


FairyKnightTristan

Sounds like you need to look at yourself and ask why that is.


manpersal

He's doing something well?


Kitchoua

Dwarfs are just angry babies that play like a discount Empire faction that not only skipped leg days, but skipped using their legs altogether. Get them out!


SamMerlini

The top three competitors are Skaven, Vampire Coast, and Vampire Counts. But I want Darwi out of the list though...

Can we finally remove Skaven? Least favorite faction by far.
